The Last Straw

This was a must win game for us against a St Mirren team who have only 5 points and are sitting at the bottom of the league. The game sounded terrible and another defensive error and free header cost us the opening goal. I am starting to wonder what the defence practice in training as that is 4 goals in a row from back post headers. once again
We never created much and never got our 1st shot on target till the 38th minute.  McArdle scored his 2nd of the season. in one of our few chances.
This just shows us the new level Mcghee has taken us too when we struggle against Falkirk in the cup and then get beat by Saint Mirren.
I think the board have to make a move now before it is too late we have a lot of tough games coming up and could find ourselves down at the bottom in the next few weeks.
Mcghee has clearly lost the team  (who are now mostly his players)as they do not even look to be trying at times.
The squad is so unbalanced there is not even many changes we can make to try and turn things around. Maybe a new man can get something out of these players who showed the potential of what they can do at the beginning of the season.
I have now lost all faith in Mcghee as manager, I am sure I am not the only one.

  1. Yes seems to be our problem a team has not won for ages always get off to a flier against us.
    A tough month ahead well it will be tough for us till the end of the season now as we cannot beat the botto teams so that looks like a disaster for us,
    The players do not have the desire to win and they cannot rely on Hartley every game. Time for them to stand up and be counted earn their wages.
    The playes we go on the cheap certainly look like bargain basement buys and are not capable of turning it on, unless it suits them.
    The manager has to have them up for the games but they just go through the motions. second to everything and they seem scared of cross balls. What happens at training do they not practice.
    5 Games coming up Celtic and Rangers ICT Kilmarnockand St Johnstone. Cannot see us taking many points from these games on present form, So McGhee maybe gone before Christmas if things do not get better.

  2. I don't think it's a new low level he has taken us too.
    Almost every season recently (not just under Mcghee)we have been beaten by a 1st division team and lost to low league opposition.
    I call beating the 1st division team in the cup an improvement! Granted it was all down to having a decent captain rather than manager.
    Every time we lose everyone throws their toys out the pram and call for his head. I knew this would take time so Im waiting till at least Christmas maybe even the end of the season before jumping aboard the blame bus.lol

  3. Looking at his Aberdeen record he is right up there with Alex Miller, Steve Paterson and Ebbe. I also think it feels worse cause although we have been knocked out the cup by lower league teams and been beaten by teams below us in the league for 5 years we were a top 6 team and almost always in with a shout of the European spot. Now we are back to bottom 6 fighting relegation.

  4. This month of November could be the final nail in McBhees coffin unless the players wise up and he motivates them into a winning mentality.
    The styles of play have not changed score a goal and everyong falls back to there own half.
    Which puts more pressure on the defence and we know how strong that is. It happened under Calderwood and it seems to be in our players minds still, but unless you have an excellent defence you want hold out.
    So the players have to have it driven home to them to change there mentality.
    I think that is why the young playrs have no fear coming into the team ie Fyvie just drives on and on and give inspiration but the senior lot do not keep up the challenge, only player at the moment who is a winner is Hartley the rest have a defeatist attitude.
    So encouragement must come from the top. Starting this week.
